The Sword Sovereign Has Been Plotting This for a Long Time

(1v1, both virgins, equally matched leads, cultivation novel) A beautiful, slow-to-realize-about-love, irresistible bottom VS a scheming top who acts aloof at first, then desperately pursues his wife by any means necessary When Sword Venerable Song Shichuan was young and not yet famous, he was gravely wounded. By good fortune, a young wandering cultivator saved him. His heart stirred at the time, but he didn’t know how to put his feelings into words. Once his injuries healed, the two went their separate ways, and that was that. He never expected that when he saw the young man again years later, he would be engaged to a fellow disciple! Song Shichuan thought that he had lacked the courage back then, and he couldn’t blame anyone else. If the man was happy, that was enough. He would simply watch from afar and not disturb him. But who could have guessed that Xu Songchen was no good at all? After sweet-talking Ye Yunqing into his grasp, he fell in love with someone else not long afterward! Unforgivable! Shameless! Infuriating! He had been secretly keeping an eye on the man all along. When he realized the man planned to leave the sect by taking on a sect mission, Song Shichuan finally couldn’t hold back. Using coincidence as his excuse, he appeared before Ye Yunqing and began his relentless campaign to win him back. How does the other man steal the original partner’s place? Because the original partner didn’t know how to cherish what he had. (Isn’t that right, Xu Songchen?)
